AIST Successfully Calculates Giant Molecule's Electron State.Tokyo, Japan, Dec 1, 2005 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (産業技術総合研究所 (AIST AIST Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan) AIST National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan) AIST Association for Iron & Steel Technology ) announced on November 28 that it has succeeded in calculating the electron state of a giant molecule comprised of more than 20,000 atoms. Specifically, the Grid Technology Research Center and the Research Institute for Computational Sciences, both AIST organizations, have jointly calculated the electron density of the membrane protein complex of Rhodopseudomonas viridis, a kind of photosynthetic purple bacteria, using the AIST SuperCluster su·per·clus·ter n. A group of neighboring clusters of galaxies. supercluster A large group of neighboring clusters of galaxies, along with isolated galaxies scattered between them, the entire collection , AIST's proprietary cluster computer. AIST expects that this achievement will help elucidate the microscopic mechanism of photosynthesis. In addition, AIST reported the finding at the Supercomputing (SC) 2005 Conference held in Seattle in November, and received the Best Technical Paper Award for the achievement.
